Stop The Presses

Linux Journal is no longer the only
magazine which covers of Linux. In February,
Byte ran a cover story entitled
Linux Matters, which explained
that Linux isn't just inexpensive, it's also worth using.
Infoworld has regularly given Linux reasonable
coverage; In the February 19th issue, Nicholas Petreley's reaction
“mimicked the attitude of my 2-year-old daughter at a toy store:
`gimme have it.”' Linux has been regularly mentioned in
Dr. Dobb's and Unix Review
for over a year. Of course, we still think that Linux Journal is the best place to get your Linux information
fix.

Recent Development

As we announced last month, Linus is preparing to release a
new stable version of Linux, provisionally called Linux 2.0. More
features that will be interesting to our readers include true NFS
caching, made possible by the new “page cache” which debuted in
the 1.3.51 kernel, SMP on Pentium Pros, VFAT filesystem (Windows 95
“long filename”) support, APM (Advanced Power Management,
normally used on laptops) capabilities, and disk quotas.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to “bare metal.” After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.

In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
